Clear storm damage from Temitope's garden in Asaba
Temitope, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Asaba for 40 years. After the storm in November, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of arthritis.
The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 37 people at work. Take care.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Wudil
Hope it all works out, Temitope. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
